  • The History of the Land of Indian Hill
    513-721-LAND(5263) [email protected] The History of the Land of Indian Hill Blome Road Bridge c. 1888 Blome Road Bridge was built in 1888 by The Queen City Bridge Company. It is a one lane bridge that crosses over Sycamore Creek. It is the only surviving bridge by The Queen City Bridge Company. Blome Bridge is 127 years old. It was created with a pin connected Pratt through truss bridge, making it unusual in design. It was composed of six panels, most noted for slight skew. The Queen City Bridge Company used pipe railing that passes through the vertical members and also the end post. It was great for horse and wagon passage. The Blome Road Bridge was restored by Hamilton County in 1990. Hamilton County built a beam bridge underneath the truss bridge so not to alter the original design and materials. Buckingham House c. 1790 The Buckingham House is one of the few farm houses left in Indian Hill; built during the Civil War. The Buckingham’s came to Ohio in 1790. They purchased 1,100 acres of land in Indian Hill, known as Camp Dennison. They owned and operated mills on the Little Miami River. The Buckingham home is surrounded by 13 acres of land called Bonnell Park. Indian Hill Bridges There are two bridges in Indian Hill. One is located at Shawnee Run Road and State Route 126. This bridge was used by Pennsylvania Railroad trains to move cargo. Today the remnants of the bridge can still be seen by bicyclist and joggers.

  • Civil War Generals Buried in Spring Grove Cemetery by James Barnett
    Spring Grove Cemetery, once characterized as blending "the elegance of a park with the pensive beauty of a burial-place," is the final resting- place of forty Cincinnatians who were generals during the Civil War. Forty For the Union: Civil War Generals Buried in Spring Grove Cemetery by James Barnett f the forty Civil War generals who are buried in Spring Grove Cemetery, twenty-three had advanced from no military experience whatsoever to attain the highest rank in the Union Army. This remarkable feat underscores the nature of the Northern army that suppressed the rebellion of the Confed- erate states during the years 1861 to 1865. Initially, it was a force of "inspired volunteers" rather than a standing army in the European tradition. Only seven of these forty leaders were graduates of West Point: Jacob Ammen, Joshua H. Bates, Sidney Burbank, Kenner Garrard, Joseph Hooker, Alexander McCook, and Godfrey Weitzel. Four of these seven —Burbank, Garrard, Mc- Cook, and Weitzel —were in the regular army at the outbreak of the war; the other three volunteered when the war started. Only four of the forty generals had ever been in combat before: William H. Lytle, August Moor, and Joseph Hooker served in the Mexican War, and William H. Baldwin fought under Giuseppe Garibaldi in the Italian civil war. This lack of professional soldiers did not come about by chance. When the Constitutional Convention met in Philadelphia in 1787, its delegates, who possessed a vast knowledge of European history, were determined not to create a legal basis for a standing army. The founding fathers believed that the stand- ing armies belonging to royalty were responsible for the endless bloody wars that plagued Europe.

D.4YTON, OHIO: CHRISTIAN PUBLISHING HOUSE PRINT, 1884. 4 ^ TO MY COMRADES IN ARMS, THIS VOLUME IS FRATERNALLY INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR. <rm-~^ "} PRE FA C E. In 1872 the author of this book wrote and published a small book the title of which was, <' Greene County in the War." But the supply being exhausted, a second edition has been published, similar to the first one, but enlarged and revised. In addition to the first book, sketches of other regiments have been added, together with anecdotes and incidents of the late war ; also, a list of Greene County's soldiers, copied from muster-rolls in the Adjutant General's office at Columbus. In this, as well as the former work, the author does not attempt to give a general history of the rebellion, but simply a history of his own regiment — the Seventy-fourth Ohio — and parts of other organizations in which Greene County was represented. It is not, however, strictly confined to Greene County alone, but other counties in the state, as well. The author having spent considerable time and labor in gettmg out this book, offers it to the public, hoping that it may prove interesting and profitable to its readers.

Northerners and Southerners hastily prepared for a war that would surely end within a few months. Union and Confederate politicians failed to foresee four years of bloody conflict, nor did they expect to confront the massive prisoner of war crisis that this war generated. During the years 1861-1865, Union and Confederate officials held a combined 409,608 Americans as prisoners of war.1 The prisoner of war crisis is a significant part of Civil War history. However, historians have largely neglected the prison camps, and the men they held.

  • Manning Ferguson Force
    28 th Ohio Volunteer Infantry Delivered at Spring Grove Cemetery, Cincinnati, Ohio, June 15, 2002. By David L. Mowery Copyright 2002 David Mowery & Cincinnati Civil War Round Table On April 15, 1861, President Abraham Lincoln called for 75,000 volunteers to fight for the Union. Within months, hundreds of volunteer regiments formed throughout the United States as young men dutifully became soldiers in the defense of their cause. These men often joined a regiment as a part of a communal movement; sometimes the male population of a whole household, town, or ethnic community would enlist in the same unit. In Cincinnati, this sense of community was very strong among the men of German descent. In April 1861, the 1st German Regiment formed under the guidance of the Turner Society of Cincinnati. Except for its colonel, Robert L. McCook, the regiment was composed entirely of men and officers of German or Dutch ancestry. The 1st German Regiment was later designated the 9th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, a unit which would serve with great distinction in the western theater of the war. (1) Because of the overwhelming response from the German community to provide men for the preservation of the Union, the formation of a subsequent all-German unit was announced on May 12, 1861. Initially named the 2nd German Regiment, this next group of volunteers was recruited from the German meeting halls located throughout the city of Cincinnati and Hamilton County. A scattering of recruits came from other parts of Ohio, but the vast majority of the soldiers of the 2nd German Regiment were from Hamilton County.
